Sandman and the Lost Sand of Dreams

Saturday, August 13 - Sunday, August 14, 2011

NEW YORK PREMIERE – Ever wonder where you go when you sleep? In this beautifully animated stop-motion film, six-year-old Milo finds himself transformed into an animated character and swept into Dreamland, a secret nocturnal world of enchantment and adventure. There he sets sail in a magic car-boat through deliciously bizarre dreamscapes (full of giant chocolate bunnies, birthday cake women, cotton clouds, and paper mache mountains) on a mission to try to upend the schemes of the nefarious Habumar, creator of nightmares, who has threatened children everywhere by stealing the Sand of Dreams.

SANDMAN AND THE LOST SAND OF DREAMS is a sumptuously handcrafted film perfect for youngest audiences, with playfully inventive characters immersed in brilliantly colorful landscapes.
